Rack-Mounting Guidelines
Warning
Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure
your safety: This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.When
mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest
component at the bottom of the rack.If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the
stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
Statement 1006
Pay attention to the following guidelines before rack-mounting your appliance:
•
Allow clearance around the rack for maintenance.
If the rack contains stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers prior to mounting or servicing the
appliance in the rack.
•
When mounting an appliance in an enclosed rack, ensure adequate ventilation. Do not overcrowd an
enclosed rack. Make sure that the rack is not congested, because each component generates heat.
•
When mounting an appliance in an open rack, make sure that the rack frame does not block the
intake or exhaust ports.
•
If the rack contains only one appliance, mount the appliance at the bottom of the rack.
•
If the rack is partially filled, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest component
at the bottom of the rack.
Note
Use the rack mount brackets to mount the IPS 4345. Use the slide rail mounting system to mount the
IPS 4360.
